from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

“I would like to [re-sign]. I haven’t talked a lot about anything, to be honest," Staal told Hockey Central at Noon Thursday. "Obviously there’s decisions that need to be made moving forward.”...

The Hurricanes lifer was complimentary of general manager Ron Francis's approach and said he's fine with the fact that management has yet to approach him with a new contract or a trade request.

No hard deadlines have been set, and he hasn't be faced with any decisions to make about his future — yet. Both sides are taking a wait-and-see approach.

“It could be in the next month or two, I don't know," Staal said. "There’s other guys in the league in the same situation as me. It’ll work itself out, and whatever way it goes, we'll continue on.”
